When I did this, I hooked up with a group like the National Association for the Self Employed. (http://www.nase.org). They were able to provide group coverage for individuals at discounted rates. This is because the average health of the self-employed is significantly better than in other groups. It has been more than 10 years since I did this with nase, but it was a very positive experience. You can look at other "Fraternal Orders" like Thrivent or other group insurers and see if they have a similar program for self-employed. This is not a specific endorsement of these groups over others. YMMV

Paying $100 a year, you can publish any number of apps, but you can only have X (say 5 or 10) apps that have only name and no submission. At $10-20 per squat, you prevent just plain squatting, especially (as has already been argued) considering that there is no financial incentive to do so.

Microsoft is driving the planet to ruin with its wasteful high carbon footprint. All those employees driving and flying to work just for Micorosoft... While FOSS is typically done from the home office... no driving involved. You can include linux as part of your Company's "Green" initiative!

I was there at the E3 where they announced the PsP, where it would have phone, GPS, Camera, movies and a game console.... uh.... We waited for years while none of this came to fruition, the games got crappier, the movie thing bombed (because you could watch a whole movie on a single charge).... Back then (what 2001, 2002), they could have been the leader. Now they are the retarded loser.... The iPhone has all of these AND the delivery channel... who cares what Sony does in this space? Not me.

I turn my computer off every night and then the next day the first load just takes too long. I am not sure what FF is doing all that time (and I admit I exaggerated a bit, its only 15 seconds, while chrome loads in 3). I have been using chrome now for 2 days, generally its pretty good... But of course the real reason for my rant is, I really just want FF to work. I dont want to have to learn another browser and I dont have time to figure out why FF is so slow loading.

when it finally starts. I am able to start IE and Chrome and browse to the page in both in the time it takes FF to grace me with it's presence. Just yesterday FF was ejected as my default browser. It may have a faster javascript engine, but who cares if I have to wait 40 seconds for the dog to load.

Can you cite a source for this? AFAIK, from close sources, the SR-71 had a near miss at 5 miles as its closest. (I ask because I am interested, not because I believe you need to cite a source).
